Bespoke Wrought Iron Gate Installation & Automation

The Challenge: Balancing Aesthetics with Safety A client required a complete entrance solution that combined the classic, heavy-duty security of wrought iron with modern convenience. The challenge with large, ornate metal gates is ensuring that the automation system is powerful enough to handle the weight while remaining sensitive enough to meet strict safety standards.

The Solution: Professional Installation & Integrated Safety We managed the project from the ground up, starting with the delivery of the custom-fabricated wrought iron wings. To provide reliable, smooth operation, we installed a high-torque automation system specifically geared for heavy-duty residential use.

A critical part of this installation was the integration of Safety Edges. These pressure-sensitive strips are mounted on the leading edges and hinge points of the gates. If they detect even a slight obstruction while the gates are in motion, the system immediately halts and reverses to prevent injury or damage.

The Result: A Secure, Compliant Entrance The final result is a grand entrance that operates effortlessly at the touch of a button. By combining high-quality ironwork with precision-engineered safety features, we provided a solution that looks impressive and adheres to the latest UK gate safety regulations.

Installation Highlights:

• Custom Wrought Ironwork: Durable, ornate gates provided and professionally hung.

• Heavy-Duty Automation: High-torque motors installed for long-term reliability.

• Safety Edge Technology: Comprehensive entrapment protection on all active edges.

• Force Testing: Full calibration to ensure the system meets all legal safety requirements.
